In an age of geopolitical fragmentation, a nation’s strength is often defined by its technological indispensability. Israel’s success, argue Yonatan Adiri and Shachar Lotan in a new SAPIR essay, hinges on embracing a new technological strategy called The Silicon Dome.

On March 4th, SAPIR Editor-in-Chief Bret Stephens and Israeli entrepreneur and former chief technology officer to Shimon Peres, Yonatan Adiri joined for a live virtual conversation where they unpacked what a Silicon Dome is, how it might operate, and why it is a necessity for the Jewish state.

A note to listeners: only moments before the SAPIR virtual event was scheduled to begin, the production team received a message from Adiri that he and his family were notified of an incoming missile to their area, and would need to take shelter imminently. After an “all-clear”, Adiri joined for us for the conversation.
